Buying a Lemon Revisited!

I spoke with my friend who purchased the damaged car yesterday. Things came out reasonably well. A lawyer had been retained and the seller will be giving the sale price plus attorney fees back. The title and registration fees, the extra key, the new floor mats, the little goodies you get for a new car to personalize it, these expenses aren't included in the settlement. You could ask for those extras, but if the seller gets upset he may change his mind and not go through with the deal.

Consider the expense tuition in the school of life. This unlucky buyer has now repurchased her former car and is driving it again. At this point there are no plans to purchase another car in the near future.
